Care to explain what is the least funny about this? Really, I don't get
it except in the sense that being remarkably unfunny can in some
situations be quite funny. A case of this is in the film, Catch me if
you can, in which the humourless agent, Tom Hanks, attempts a joke in a
police car.

Matters of certainty.

Is the Pope catholic?
Are the Kennedys gun shy?
Do bears shit in the woods?

....or how about the extreme opposite... the non-joke... (Warning: u may need
drugs or an eastern religion to understand this one ):

Q. What's the difference between a football?
A. An orange because motorbikes don't have doors.

In the right context, this can be very, very funny. The lesson here is
context... ).

Appropriate context is: at the end of a long, long dinner party... ties are
off, shirts are off, the bottles are empty, and religion and politics have
already been discussed... just before the 'I love you man' / morose / 'how
about I call you a taxi', stage...

Righto, but I still don't quite see why it is a funny response *to
whether frogs have humour*. I see how it is a 'funny' way of giving the
answer in the affirmative. But yes or no as the answer with a similar
"matter of certainty" logic to it could be possible. I just think there
should be something more essentially funny about the affirmativeness of
the answer. I honestly cannot see how it can be 10/10 funny. 3/10 is
tops and trust me, this is not *because* I am biased against Travis.
